I like to think about myself as a designer that became a researcher and uses a diverse set of skills from industrial and UX design to include prototyping processes early in the project, blurring the division between research and synthesis to facilitate a generative/explorative process to design new information technologies.

This section shows some examples that explore new interaction models

Experiencing the autonomous car of 2030. Today

  • Autonomous car ride mode developed by Huemen industrial design ID team. AR mode example

  • Experience Prototype based on ID concept to collect initial feedback and perceptions.

  • Example of participatory approach discussing possibilities for augmented reality.

  • Alternative setup for share ride experiences to test collaborative interactions models: voice-enabled + panel information.

  • Alternative setup for share ride experiences to test collaborative interactions model: group multi-gesture surface.

  • Final concept - augmented reality settings.

  • Final concept - interaction with pedestrians.

Who is in charge? understanding power dynamics when you introduce a new interaction model

  • Early low fidelity prototype for internal team ideation and analysis - this project explored collaborative software for content management using an interactive surface.

  • Interactive multi-gesture surface used to create visual workflows.

  • Prototype sequence and feedback evaluation process.

  • Functional prototype under testing by multiple users.

Do you have a moment for policy-making? What is the suitable interaction model for people in a rush

  • Low fidelity provocative prototypes - provotypes at Chicago City Hall to understand people’s willingness to engage in collaborative activities.

  • Experience prototype in a controlled environment.

  • Scale model of prototypes in government building.

  • Participant exploring final prototype.

  • Final prototype - interactive installation at Chicago City Hall.

How to create a data-driven experience for sodium consumption awareness?

  • Grocery market experience replicated in low fidelity.

  • Early prototype used in real context.

  • Making the video narrative.

  • High fidelity prototype in context.
